Pound of sausages! - Solihull,UK,1987:
A butcher came out of his shop and lobbed a nicely wrapped portion of his finest pork and leek jumbo's into me hat!
mmmm!
....thought of one better 'cause I'm sitting here looking at it....
A pink and white electric guitar!!! I was playing my 'bit knackered but warm' sounding acoustic in Hanley, Stoke on Trent,UK,
when this old guy came up to me and asks if I can make use of a guitar that'd been sitting on his wardrobe for years! He returned 10 minutes later, guitar in hand!
Played it ever since.
Got to be one of the nicest drops??
I love this job.
A group from the Nation of Islam just gave me a cell phone. They explained that they didn't have any cash, but really enjoyed the performance so they gave me the phone.
Does any one need a cell phone? I don't. But if you do then email me at danfoley@mindspring.com. I'm giving it away to the performer who needs it most. Its a Motorola i1000 plus if that means anything to anyone.
Im currently working on a Kruze Ship in Asia and yesterday a girl about 5 or 6 years old gave me an origami Lotus Flower that she had made out of the ships entertainment programme.

I was busking in a restaurant this week and got a Love Letter in my hat. It was from a six or seven year old girl and said "Thank you Paddy. I like the balloons. I think you are a very funny clown. Love Jessica"
It is framed and in my living room so I can remember the real value of being an entertainer
